Today, I had to watch my neighbor's daughter for 10 hours. She wouldn't eat anything I had to offer, so I ordered a pizza for $19 + a $5 tip = $24. Her father came by to pick her up, thanked me, and gave me a $20 bill. I effectively just paid to watch his kid. FML

$20 for 10 hours is stupid. Why were you even willing to do something without knowing how much you'll get out of it?

$20 for 10 hours? That really sucks. But 24 dollars for a pizza...just get that cheap Hot N' Ready or whatever it's called, it's only like 5 dollars or something.

This is why you should ALWAYS negotiate the price beforehand, kids.

If it was your responsibility to feed the kid than you offer her everything in the house and when she refuses tell the parents and if isnt your job to fee her than whats the big deal let the ****** starve

I'm sure your life is absolutely ruined over $4.

do u realize she PAID $4 to babysit a picky probably snobby kid for ten hours?...if you want to do that I can set up tons of jobs for you...

What pizza costs 19$!? And wow the going rate for babysitting in my area is 8-10$ per hour loll that sucksss

a $19 dollar pizza is really expensive! and why didn't you tell the guy about the pizza? maybe he would have payed you back. a 5 dollar tip is also really generous

Here in Norway take-away pizzas costs like 40$, but in Norway everything is expensive.

What 12 said. Why wouldn't you have talked about this beforehand? And just let the damn kid starve if sie won't eat anything in the house.

I wouldn't let her eat anything.

#13, your kids must love you, if they aren't dead yet that it :/

We aren't talking about op's kid, why should you pay for food for a picky child that's not yours?

you deserve it for babysitting without negotiating the price
